If you already have a sport license in airplane single engine land/sea then you do not need a make and model endorsement for the Kitfox unless it is your first tailwheel aircraft. The make and model endorsement applies to several of the sign offs required. When someone signs your logbook, make sure they refer to the AC to get it right.Īnd I’ll do my best to not post when It’s late. I can barely keep up with the mountain of paperwork with the FAA and no matter how thorough you try to be on the forums, someone will always pop up to point out the errors. I normally shy away from these discussions on regs and requirements because they almost always lead to lengthy chatter with little or no positive outcome. In my original post I tried to make the regs simple, but as everyone knows, simple and FAA in the same sentence do not mix. Once again proving I should not make postings after 2200 having left out the nit-pick details. He may not carry a passenger until he gets an additional Airplane single engine rating. Harry must get an endorsement to fly the Kitfox solo.
His medical has expired and he has a valid drivers license. He is a Private Pilot with Helicopter - multi engine - land rating. Tom must get a Kitfox endorsement before he can solo or carry a passenger.ĭick can jump in the Kitfox, do three take-offs and landings solo, then carry a passenger with no endorsement required. Both have a drivers license and want to fly a Kitfox LSA with tri gear.
Dick is a Private Pilot with Airplane Single Engine ratings. Private Pilots do not require make and model endorsements within the same category and class.Įxample: Tom is a Sport Pilot. Sport Pilots must have make and model endorsements. Your flight operations are limited the same as any sport pilot. If you have a Private Pilot license you can fly LSA with a drivers license and no medical. There is no error and it is really quite simple.Ĭlass: Single Engine -land, Multi engine-sea, etc.
